Highlighted Reviews
"two kittens and one elderly cat all agree these are the best treat ever! I have used these to train the kittens to come when I call their names -- and they RUN to get there. My finicky elder cat just gobbles them when she would previously turn her nose up at other brands."
"My cat took a sniff and walked away. Now I have these treats and cat won't eat it. Did not save any money there."
